The two years since the coronation of King Charles have been largely disappointing ones for the royal family. A great deal of this was due to factors that none of its senior members could have had any control over – Harry; the Duke of York; cancer.

I was honoured to commission this brilliant, thoughtful review of Keith McNally's sad and angry memoir by @HenryGJeffreys in this month's @TheSpectator.
